"A society can be judged by the way it treats its mosquitos"

Can you elaborate on some scenarios you are describing? The only organization I can imagine that can't do code reviews would be organizations of 1. I don't even see how performing code reviews could ever be a net negative in terms of money nor overall productivity.
I frequent landlord groups (online) and I’ve never been a landlord. I own a SFH but could see myself temporarily moving out of state in a few years, and reading various online discussions had been super helpful for giving me an idea of all the things I should think about if I ever rent out my home. I’m sure there are a lot of people in similar boats, people who have no clue what being a landlord is like

A Google employee can make a typo and block users of competing browsers from half the Internet. Surely nothing needs to be done to reduce their power.

From your comment it looks like your usage is mostly read-only so you'd have no effect on the "vibe" of said groups, which is what I replied to. A group is defined by its posters more than its lurkers.
The German is "die Brüder Grimm" and early English translations preserved that order, which is unusual but not completely unknown in English; then it stuck.
If its so profitable ( implying landlord charging high rent ) then lots people will buy own home. If its such good risk to landlord than more rental available , and rents should be coming down OR increasing less due to increasing vacancy rate.

Why?

The energy consumption seems to be even a bit better than of the model 3

"with energy consumption approaching 10 kWh per 100km."

So roughly half capacity equals roughly half range - sounds about right to me (23.2 kWh are the same avaiable energy, whether sodium or lithium).

They were, but annulation was better than the alternative, if I can believe "Six".

An unstated assumption here is that we ought to remember things as the size they are; would we have thought that before the XV? After all, before then artists tended to depict subjects with sizes corresponding to their importance*, rather than their incarnated physical extent.

As much as the process of creating these is automated, it still feels like a lot of work and I feel the weakness is definitely the writing.

> Similarly, it's good for both states to have the same or similar rules on drugs, but no need to force them

I can't wait for drugs having to be certified safe in 50 different jurisdictions, instead of one, with 50 different agencies, each with a different set of politicians putting their thumbs on the scale having their own rules for them.

That'll really bring down medical costs, and will not at all destroy the incredible economies of scale that a single 350 million person national market creates.

I also can't wait for the cross-state litigation when an upstream state's equivalent of the EPA will be paid off to allow a firm to dump toxic waste into a river, that will be poisoning the people downstream.
I recommend drinking coffee before requesting a code review or posting on an online forum.
It fascinates me how pervasive the housing crisis narrative has become when in point of fact the real issue is economic opportunity has been stolen from rural and small communities. It fascinates me even further when the housing crisis narrative is used to justify municipalities greenlighting (and in some cases subsidizing) wildly profitable real estate development projects that generally make all of the issues collectively referred to as the housing crisis objectively worse in the communities these projects were intended to serve.
> In my experience, big landlords really are objectively better. They are inflexible and bureaucratic, but generally fair and follow the law.

They (mostly) follow the law, but the flip side is they will follow the law to their maximum advantage. They'll increase rent the maximum permitted each year. They'll do all the maintenance required by local law but not an inch more. And so on.

I've always had a more agreeable time with small-time landlords. I'm nice to them and their property, they're nice to me and don't push the law to the limits. They mostly never raise rents on me.

I haven't rented residential in a long while but still currently rent office and workshop space, both are on a handshake deal from small single-building owners. My rents are a fraction of what the corporation-managed spaces are in the area.
A lot of the small outfits also went bankrupt and had to bail, leaving only the big players. It's much easier to cartel/collude when there are a lot fewer competitors. I think all the big guys got the message that slow and steady was the way to go, so they keep the prices high and simply don't pump more than they planned on. I saw one oil man on TV saying the days of razor-thin profit margins were over for his company and they were going to stick to their slow and steady strategy.
Puhlease… just use shutup10 and some debloating script easily found on GitHub. It’s mostly harmless. And it could be a fun weekend project to install a Rufus tampered Win11 ISO. And when WU reenables some sort of privacy and/or advertising wrecking feature you run shutup10 again which will tell you which changes MS decided to make on your behalf so you can toggle them back again. Finally, if you can spare some computer cycles, run a docker-pihole and block those sweet sweet ms-events IPs for fun and profit.

Honestly I find this to be the biggest advantage to using a coding LLM. It's like a more interactive debugging duck. By the time I've described my problem in sufficient detail for the LLM to generate a useful answer, I've solved it.

In the UK, we have had creeping adoption of US style tipping … 10-15 years ago, 5% cash tip was middle of the range to quite generous. Now 12.5% “discretionary” service charge is added to the card payment and you are made to feel like a pariah if you question this. It is a hidden price hike to the restaurant and doubtful the wait staff see more than a fraction. A dark pattern.
The interview process in tech is horrible.
Well, no, it never went to court.
Do meetings typically involve communication? I'm not familiar with practices in various companies.
Probably depends on where you're at; I found it's shockingly common even for larger agencies and landlords to just break the law in the UK. You can tell them "this is the law, you can't do that", and they will just brazenly unashamed say "I know, we're going to try it anyway". Never-ever make the mistake of anthropomorphising any landlord of any size in the UK. I strongly suspect that David Icke was right all along with his lizard people, but just got the wrong demographic.

That said, it's certainly true that with individual landlords you risk a lot more variety; you can end up with a normal friendly fella, or an absolutely crazy nutjob, or anything in-between. In general my experiences have been much much better with small-time landlords.
Sadly, many parts of modern mountain bikes seem to be less durable and not repairable. For most of the stuff I can't or don't want/have time to do, I take into the shop. And generally, they throw up their hands and say it needs to be replaced. Did that with two dropper posts this week. (One needed a rebuild that would cost more than replacement. The other had a (luckily under warranty) faulty cartridge).

I will also say that e-bikes are much more fun than I would have thought. And not very serviceable.
I think it's because they are older and that led to less of the modern publication pressures.

You didn't need to publish if you didn't have something interesting to say and you could just make your point, without worrying about drowning in a sea of mediocrity.
Adam Smith is consistent in his opposition to rent seeking as a behavior, as embodied in his disdain for landlords and other “unproductive classes” throughout the Wealth of Nations. He was a moral philosopher above all concerned with how systems and incentives guide human behavior toward positive or destructive ends. You haven’t provided any evidence to the contrary, only tried to invent some special, imaginary form of his philosophy with carve outs that suit your beliefs.
thats patently false. it was known to the educated greeks but it was far from being widespread among the masses who were uneducated and did not know how to read. education was not a thing unless for the scribes which were a super small minority of the population.

so for most people it was far from obvious that the Earth was spherical

I think you’re both right. People’s feelings are absolutely critical to any negotiation. And people pretty reliably find a way to align their feelings with their financial interests.
K so given a situation where no credible information is available on the net a system that synthesizes information taken from the net is going to produce credible information through what mechanism exactly?
Completely incorrect. The Mongol social structure did that without religion. Like most nomadic peoples, inheritance rules split the ownership amongst a leader’s sons, fairly equally. This is because they had people and herds, not land (hence, nomads), so it was the most sensible way of doing it.

This, mixed with the fact that Russia and the Middle East are thousands of miles away from the Mongolian and Chinese capitals made it inevitable that a leader on one side of the empire would ignore their overlord on the other side. Thus, the empire would fracture quickly (and pretty much did as soon as the family ties to Genghis Khan were loose enough).

Then again, the best ideas come from constructive disagreements, not blind conformity.
I'd say the way it sounds depends entirely on the prior relationship.

~ Bad tenant - extortion.
Here is my take:

Elon actually has the numbers. And the profit to expenditure did not add up. The team wasn’t adapting in a useful manor, hence this is the outcome.

This is as plausible as all the other opinions out there. In short we don’t know the half of it.
What we do know is that ev sales have taken a dive. A network that grows faster then ev adoption might not be that useful, considering the bigger the network the bigger the upkeep.

Also, Tesla only build that network because no one else was. (Check some past articles, this was clearly said). Evs have now been adopted to a point that other companies are getting into the game. Especially : gas stations.

Last: home charging for daily commute will be more important. Most people will only go to a Super Charger on trips. Like 5% of the usage of the vehicle?

There is more to this then flashy headlines.

Elon is a good business man, who denies that, hasn’t grasped what he was able to achieve so far.

Is he behaving like a 140 character idiot? Absolutely, but this is not new. His long form talks on the other hand often are very reasonable.
If you watch birds for long enough you see them doing silly things that seemingly have no evolutionary benefit. For example, I once saw a magpie, upside down on the floor with its legs in the air. My first thought is that it was hurt, but then soon enough another bird came and started play fighting with it and it just was taunting with its legs at the other bird, and then eventually flipping right side up and zooming off with the other in pursuit. Perhaps ground fighting is a useful skill, or perhaps birds also experience 'fun' from novel experiences. To flip it around, it's been posited ever since Darwin that a human predilections to take on a life drawing or woodworking course is driven by sexual selection.

But without any external means to distinguish a conscious and unconscious agent, whether animals experience qualia is in a philosophical sense as unknowable as whether other humans experience qualia. Everyone except one's self could be 'philosophical zombies'[0]. This lack of verifiability is part of what is termed the 'hard problem of consciousness'[1]. If we ever build an AI agent that is conscious, we wouldn't know.

Common sense would dictate, that because I, as a human, am conscious, any other human is most certainly conscious too. But if play behaviour isn't enough to hold this certainty, where should the bar be set?

Whereas prior to colonialism, the nobles would declare a new loyalty and life for the peasants would continue on as normal (or the nobles would be replaced). It seems that the Protestant reformation was a big contributor to change in this structure, with rulers having much more concern for how the peasants conducted their daily lives and holidays (and language?) not just taxes and fealty.
I think neither. You need to configure windows to use the RTX with Chrome. Maybe something like in windows graphics settings, setting Chrome to “High performance”.
A quick web search for "force Chrome to use dedicated GPU" should give you all the steps you need.

> If one option loses them less money they'll pick that option

It's a nice idea to think human beings are strictly rational, but they aren't. We've long known, homo economicus had his funeral in the 90s. Amos Tversky murdered him in an entirely rational way.

OK, kidding aside - purely rational decisions are extremely rare.

> but at the end of the day they'll swallow their feelings

People do many things, but they very rarely swallow their feelings. If you've ever seen a neighborhood lawsuit or a divorce, you've seen feelings be extremely powerful things, even if finances are involved.

"unless a tenant is being an outrageous bastard" is the operative phrase there. Feelings color what's considered outrageous. Sometimes, "he looked at me funny" is all that's needed to make an entirely irrational decision.

There's a whole bunch of studies clearly showing that people would rather take a monetary loss than a gain where they think the other party gets an outsized gain (not at their expense) as a result in the latter case. Humans are weird. Feelings matter a lot.

One of my favorites is this one: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S016726819...

One of the examples in there is a choice about pay at work

A: You make $50,000; others earn $25,000

B: You make $100,000; others earn $200,00

And a very large number of participants would rather choose A, because that means they'd be relatively better off than their colleagues. Even if they end up with half the income.
It can probably role-play.
close but it does not use Bittorrent for the P2P part?
That could have many causes. What evidence connects it to regulations? Usually, regulation limits excesses and can keep markets more open.

Because nobody really agrees on what it means to be concious, so depending on what that means to you, either its trivial that a lot of things are concious or its very unclear if even other people are concious.
Okay, got it. I think this makes sense.
When you use the GPU in the browser, you can only request the high performance GPU. It is up to the OS to grant it or not.

So maybe the author forgot to include the high performance request, or your OS does not give the high performance GPU by default (as it might be in eco mode). This behavior can be changed in OS settings.
LLMs Powered by Kolmogorov-Arnold Networks
Seeing as the authors claim that KANs are able to reduce the issues of catastrophic forgetting that we see in MLPs, I thought "Wouldn't it be nice if there was an LLM that substituted MLPs with KANs?". I looked around and didn't find one, so I built one!

- PyTorch Module of the kan_gpt

- Deployed to PyPi

- MIT Licence

- Test Cases to ensure forward-backward passes work as expected

- Training script

I am currently working on training it on the WebText dataset to compare it to the original gpt2. Facing a few out-of-memory issues at the moment. Perhaps the vocab size (50257) is too large?

I'm open to contributions and would love to hear your thoughts!
This feels like it was written by AI.
It was a real need given how almost all sites use large JavaScript deps. However, any hopes of sharing those were destroyed by adtech people timing resource downloads to track people.

Just because you don't know how it's done or aren't aware of methods for it doesn't mean it isn't possible to do for other people.
We kill more than a million non-human animals every year, even excluding mosquitos and what we eat. Like bycatch from fishing. We should not be shown any mercy.
I doubt it because energy prices play a big role in almost all goods & service prices. We learned this the hard way these last 24 months.

Meh; I don't think people need to declare all their motivations, (possible) conflict of interests, long-term plans for the community, and so forth before commenting on a Facebook group. Reality is tons of people have complex motivations, interests, and such.

Has the writer ever been a landlord ? Most likely not.

I've been a landlord for 37 years - since 1987

At times I have employed agents.

Other times if DIY. That includes study to be up to date with tenancy legislation and law changes in my jurisdiction
Also have access for advice how to deal with certain tenancy situations - what are my options.

Some of these property's are complete houses .
Some are boarding houses ( multi room )
Some are "share houses " where the house is rented by the room.

All the boarding house management and share house management and tenant selection paperwork I do by myself.

I have rented to 100s of people over the years - over a few 100s of tenacious.

I do not know if I would give the tenant money. I would offer to help them.

However I would definitely advise them how to do it cheaply.
If can rent a small truck ( only need car license ) for one day for just 100$ . and it has a hydraulic lifter.
For tenants with smaller number of possessions I have actually provided transport and helped with moving.

Out of those 100s of tenants, Ive only every evicted 2 people.

Anyone that says being a landlord is no work - has obviously never been landlord.

The statement "Landlords won’t listen to tenants." is wrong in my case.
I actually do a survey when people move out to find out good and bad experiences and ways to improve.
It's sad that we are discussing the consciousness of animals as if it were a little puzzle using technology that requires mining and infrastructure that has killed billions of animals.
How is that blackmail? It seems like that would make every business deal blackmail.
Also my points. I would like one of these apps to actually show some love for technical (math) people.

So far, I find Obsidian to be the best for us.
> To be fair, background checks take time and cost money.

Background checks do, and a company shouldn't (and don't) do that before being ready to extend an offer (actually it's usually done after extending the offer, just a contingency).

However, a simple employment check is easy and quick. (Perhaps even automated by HRIS systems these days, haven't kept track so not sure.)

Why waste ~6 hours of expensive senior engineer and hiring manager time doing rounds of interviews before doing a simple check on whether the resume is correct about employment place/title/duration?
I work at a FANMG company and see the value of code reviews for th code we're working on. But, I shipped 20 commercial products before that with no code review, just play testing (games). Our velocity without code review was easily 2x what it is with. For those projects I think that would still be true whereas I'd never suggest getting rid of code review at my current job.

The point being I think it depends on the project, it's size, audience, lifetime, etc whether or not code review is a win. my gut says it usually is a win but not always
For me the main point is: *There’s a toxic individualism to all this that requires people to fend for themselves and shames them if they don’t so a perfect job at it.*

There are complex things that need to be complex no matter what. Important thing is not to call people stupid and blame them if they don’t get right away something that is obvious for you.

Annoying part or the other part of the problem is that there are people who disregard the complexity and would like to be an “audio engineer” and they believe that if only you explain them what buttons do, they can do your job.

There is a wall of knowledge one has to pass through to become an audio engineer or software engineer or else, it is not just clicking the right buttons or typing something on the keyboard.

One nowadays can get all the materials and have to learn on their own - but bashing newcomers should not be tolerated.
I did Kyokushin karate to Shodan. The board we broke were solid pine boards. They are definitely not "cut". My technique was a little off, and I wrecked my knuckles for months. They ended up permanently moved.

So maybe all karate isn't equal.
